NWR has everything you need. There's no need to look at other forums lustfully.
everything but a robust community. I'm not really knocking it though, a smaller group of regulars is much easier to manage than an abundance of "me too" posters/trollers/lollers
To be fair though - aren't most forums that way. No matter how many members a site/forum might have, only a small percentage of them are actually active and have something to contribute to the community.
I suppose you're right, and i'll be honest i haven't strayed to too many other forums but the few times i've tried to find somehwere else.. its such a horrid experience that i come running back to NWR and start reading topics i have no interest in just for the sake of washing the stench of other forums away.
Sure we have some members here that might post once or twice and thats it, and sure we have some that seem to create an account just to come in and troll ONE time, but its never overbearing the way it seems in other forums i've seen. And its not just those types of posters that ruin a forum for me either, because the opposite holds true too..
Ever seen users interact in a forum a litle too much? Back and forth comments that have nothing to do with the topic at hand, and their conversations sound like gibberish cuz you're an outsider.. when i see that sorta thing running rampant, while posters who are actually staying on topic get ignored/trolled, its just frustrating.
Now i'm not saying we don't have that sorta thing here either (moist buttered camels/Dalton anyone?) but at least we, you know, talk about games too.
